User reviews
This one works. I guess it completely disables some overlay so be careful, make sure you'll still be able to open the app and reenable it after reboot (just in case).
Still works on Android 7.0 PowKiddy X18. No ads, quick, clean, precise
Tried to keep navbar always visible. This app failed: anyone can close the navbar
